Approaching the building at the base of the CN Tower, Ripley's Aquarium of Canada in Toronto, Ontario emerges from the ground like a shard opening up the depths below. Now, what's really amazing and special about this aquarium is that the entire place seems like one huge tank filled with all the fish and creatures that you can think of that live in the ocean. I mean, the first thing you see walking in is the surface of the water, of a tank containing sharks, stingray, a turtle, octopus, and what appears to be hundreds of other fish.

My favourite outdoor rink in the city of Toronto Ontario is the Natrel rink located at Harbourfront Centre. It's the perfect location and as someone who has been ice skating for 18 years and counting, I love getting together with my other skating friends to practice jumps and spins outside, while gliding by the beautiful scenery.

Ahh… walking through the woods in Haliburton Ontario, with the snow lightly falling overhead, the crunch of the snow underfoot and the only sound that you can hear is the rushing of the river and the sound of my snow pants.

We are at Artech Glass Blowing Studio in Haliburton Ontario. We've already watched the demo and it will soon be our turn. The fire burns hot but the snow is softly falling outside the barn/studio onto the garden path... the blowpipe gets dipped into the hot molten glass inside the furnace and minutes later after some coaxing it turns from a blob of nothing into a beautiful glass work of art. Artech Glass Blowing Studios offers more than just glass blowing workshops but also has an onsite shop selling unique beer glasses, glass coasters and more...

Canadian Aviation Museum Windsor Ontario Canada

Why does the Netherlands send 10,000 tulips to Canada each year? The answer lies in the Canadian Aviation Museum Windsor Ontario. In the last days of the Second World War, with only a gentleman’s agreement stopping German bullets, a Royal Air Force plane flew out to Holland, its bomb bays full of nothing but food. Piloting the craft was Windsorite Robert Upcott. His mission was to drop food on the Dutch people starving under German occupation. This is only one of the many acts of bravery that go on living at the Canadian Aviation Museum in Windsor, Ontario.
